Very nice color and feel, but shrunk a whole size after first wash. If purchased again, I’d buy a size larger because it does shrink after wash.

I own 4 or 5 of the waffle-knit henley. I just bought the mauve and the wine. It is my favorite clothing item for coziness, comfort, versatility, and flattering body-skimming fit.
